:I think you've just hit ''the'' reason why the merge ought to happen - [[WP:No original research|No original research]]. There is agreement that the core settlement is distinct from the borough, and that agreement means the merge discussion will go nowhere. However, to write about either concept separately we need to know what the source means when it refers to Leeds. I'm not sure how we can know that without first working out (ie doing original research) whether the source means the settlement or the borough. I'm going to review the sources and see which, objectively, are about the settlement and not the district.--[[User:Nilfanion|Nilf]][[commons:User:Nilfanion|anion]] ([[User talk:Nilfanion|talk]]) 11:01, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

:::As Nilfanion pointed out, the merge ought to happen and we shouldn't close the discussion. The majority of people opposing have made quick points and have not given further reasoning when responded to. It makes absolute sense for a merge to happen. If the merge doesn't go ahead, then Leeds should be the city and district and the urban subdivision should be a page for a solely statistical area... Even the ONS says the urban subdivision is a solely statistical area and the borders of the Leeds have been expanded. Yet it has been ignored, and I am confused to as why. I think we should consider this section a reset of the merger discussion and we should continue to discuss the merger. Perhaps people will acknowledge the new understanding. I have added a notice to state this is a reset of the merger discussion so people can respond to the new points raised.
A split would be a disastrous decision; not only would it be factually incorrect but it would also prevent us using 99% of sources... [[User:Leeds United FC fan|Leeds United FC fan]] ([[User talk:Leeds United FC fan|talk]]) 21:59, 14 November 2016 (UTC) | |||
